I love when I just get on my phone for my "wind down time" and your video comes up. I love watching your videos in their entirety and not be disrupted! Lol thanks for posting an evening video, jess! Happy Gardening ❤
So I’m catching up next morning… right up there with my morning devotion, in my inspiration, while I wait for the sun to come up so I can hit the dirt! Lol 💕
Yes please. A vid on canning peppers. I plant a lot too. Unfortunately life took a turn and I didn’t work on my canning skills, so I dried a bunch which is good but canned peppers would be so good. ~ Tammy
Jess you are a chaotic breath of fresh air…the chaos comes from the multi-tasking and the fresh air comes from your sweetness…it’s calming. ❤ Thank you from Texas. 🙏🏼
I'd find it relaxing to have a video of your greenhouse on a really rainy day. Not trying to hear you talk about anything... just one of those videos where you just work... and we get to hear how awesome the rain sounds in your greenhouse!
Jess, you're right again. I planted 34 fruit trees over the past 8 years. Your suggestion of photographing the garden is so true. I look back at just 2 years ago, and my saplings were so tiny. This summer, the fruit will increase, the flower buds are forming already. Im so excited.
"How did it get so late so soon. It's night before It's afternoon. December is here before it's June. My goodness, how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon." Dr. Seuss. A quote we are using on my granddaughter's graduation announcements. Seems to fit the garden also.
I just want to say "THANK YOU" on behalf of Katie. It just makes me happy to see her and how happy she is and I'm glad she gets to be an "unlikely" farm dog on your farm ☺❤
Hopefully I don't seem like a complete crazy person saying that I also recently watched one of your videos from about 4yrs ago and also got super teary eyed seeing how big your kids have gotten! It pulls on my maternal heart strings so much to see precious babies grow in the blink of an eye! I wish you luck with your Hollyhocks lady ♥️🙏🏼
Your seedtime webinar came exactly as I was shopping around for a garden planner/task management app. I was so impressed, I got a sub. Thanks for the webinar! I’m already using it and it’s helping me so much. I’ve only had my garden for two years so I’m a total noob and this app is getting me so excited about maximizing my small raised bed and Greenstalk garden.
I'm sure she will share more recipes, just don't forget to subscribe to farmers table, she already posted many recipes there and some canning too I believe. ❤
Hi Jess, I don't see you being sappy, just savoring the moment....and man, those moments DO go by fast! I have pictures of my son at 4 years old, with his almost waist length red-brown hair in a pony tail, and his little round face with freckles on it, running all over this property like a wild indian child with his three little buddies, grazing in the garden like a deer, and I look at those pictures in awe. Because NOW, my little wild indian child is 36 years old, working in a school as a special education teacher, and he's 6'4", probably over 200 pounds, and still loves to work in the garden with bare feet! Some things never change. I totally get sappy! 💗💙 I have black hollyhocks up in Vermont, and they, too, aren't really black, but maroon. They look black at certain angles, though. I'll have to see if they come back next year, after all the flooding and humidity...
I am so jealous of your beautiful table full of your seed "mess"! I would love to sit and go through and oh and awe over your seeds! Thank you for sharing...I don't think it's chaos/mess I think it's happiness.
I did it! Last summer you finally convinced me to record a video tour of my garden and OMG I watched yesterday and was grinning ear to ear!! I forgot a few things I had grown, recommendations to myself I had already forgotten! THANK YOU!!! ❤️
I was watching one of your old videos today marveling at how much you had changed and grown into who you are. I love looking thru pics and video of my garden during the winter months. It gets my longing into high gear for the warm weather and growing things again.
Hey Jess and friends! I started keeping a notebook about 5 yrs ago with seasonal changes- I have first crocus dates, daffodils, first snow, first mow, wild strawberries, naked ladies, etc. I was very disappointed by my in-ground garden last year (deer, soil probs)- but it was so heartening to hear that you, Jess, failed bad once too. I'm so excited to try again this SPRING!! Happy gardening to everyone and thanks always Jess for all you do! ❤
The Seedtime chore list is what I am most excited about! It's an easy way to communicate to others what needs to be done too. Thanks for sharing your seed chaos with us. You are the real deal sweet one.
We are in the process of moving so I'm not starting any seeds this year. I'm thankful for your garden and homesteading videos to help keep my motivation and dream alive!
When you talk about videos being a time capsule, as a viewer, that's exactly how I consume them! I go back a year in a creator's videos to see what they were doing at this time last year and the how it all unfolded in the weeks following. I use the dates on the videos to help make a rough time line of my gardening season. Knowing when to do what in the garden is a huge stressor for me, so I find this is super helpful
My husband laughed at me just today b/c our entire dining room table looks just like your table in your greenhouse......seed packets in neat little rows everywhere and I am looking through all of them to start planting my indoor seeds this next week! I can't wait. This is such an exciting time of year for me. Don't want to wish time away, but I can't wait to get my seedlings in the ground. :)
Our future homesite is still an under-grazed clayish acre rife with wild buttercup in spring, full of jimson weed and goldenrod through the early fall; populated only by a few of the neighbor's cows, and the swooping bluebirds and strident killdee to soon be our yearly companions. Yours is a good reminder to recognize that This Too Shall Pass.
"I'm a gardener!" That's hilarious! I relate. I really enjoyed the webinar. I had already signed up for the lifetime version of seedtime but I learned a lot with that webinar. This is my first year using it. The task list is going to be so helpful too.
You are such a peppy and inspiring person- always cheery. God bless you and your family with continued good fortune to keep up the good work you are doing
I was playing with seedtime after your webinar and it’s fantastic!!! They really thought of everything. I left a review saying that it’s an ADHD gardeners dream come true lol. I love that they give a task list for things that need to get done each week. Super helpful for me
I used Seedtime last year but not to its full potential, this year I actually learned how to use it! And I LOVE going through old pics and videos of our garden. The transformations always blow me away...probably why I have 17,000 pics on my phone! 😆
A favorite winter activity is drawing my gridded garden map, listing all I will grow. Then throughout the growing season, noting dates of planting, sprouting, harvesting…. weather trends and what works well and what needs to change in future. Don’t think I wanna give that over to a computer program, but bless those of you that do!
We love growing our own Anaheim peppers to roast our own diced green chilis! I freeze them in 4 oz amounts, so they are super easy to pop into anything I am cooking... one of the best things we grow to replace what we would often buy at the store.
My garden planning is complete chaos and if I have extra room, throw some beans there! 😂 I had to place another BC order yesterday to get some Thorburns Terra Cotta, thanks to Jess! Oh well, I’m having fun!
I've been taking videos of my gardens for years now and I love looking back on them. Especially in the winter when everything's gray. Right Now I'm planning my garden on a hope that things work out for me to move on to a large property with plenty of room to grow. It's still a possibility we won't move there but I'm starting seeds in faith. I've been waiting to get on a piece of land to homestead for many years now and my heart longs for that life. Thank you for sharing your life. It has been a blessing to me!
Yes, I planned my garden w seedtime too. I was a beta tester last year, and I like it better now! I posted a video of my little 5 bed garden and 3 greenstalks! I'm so excited. Last year I felt disappointed that I didn't plan for things dying and I didn't like seeing empty spaces. This year I will do better with succession, and progress. I am the WIP ❤😊TTFN Your garden friend in Utah Marianne 🌻
I recently just went through all of my photos and I made a new folder called garden! It is filled with memories from the past five years. It is inspiring you are 100% correct❤🤟
Garden planning is in full swing over here! Spent most of a 4hr flight (minus 1hr of listening to the latest podcast) figuring out how I'm going to pack all the peppers, tomatoes, and tomatillos I hope to grow into my lil' seed starting shelves. I'm also starting to get back into the groove of filming in the garden, and hope to be sharing much more of that here on UA-cam this season! I just 💚 this time of year so much! All the anticipation and excitement for the season ahead just gets me so gitty!! 🤗
There is one homesteader in my area that sells cut flowers and bulbs...she does as well with the cut flowers as she does with the veg. stand. Regular customers putting fresh cut flowers on there kitchen tables weekly. I say go for it!
Your table looks better than mine by the couch. Sewing, seeds, information iPad, computer, bills, clay, library, crochet, printer, supplies etc on a 3x4 foot two tier table. 😅
Girl I remember my first video I seen of yours when u got ur chicken coop in Arkansas . Y’all have come a very long way continue to follow you dreams girl .
If my garden wasn’t under a foot of snow I’d be in it making a plan because you’re inspiring! ❤ Bear and Katie! ❤ I have to plan my days off to get things accomplished, but with only 2 days a week off work it’s challenging. Yesterday was baking day for a work Valentine party and Saturday is inside the house projects. My February seeds to start are late to plant, but I WILL once I clean off my kitchen island. Post it’s, calendar and seeds to sort! 😊
You are amazing, even when you get sappy! Being here in Maine we enjoy watching your videos but have to contain our enthusiasm for planting for at least another month! In the meantime we plan, repair or build our facilities and scratch the itch to plant by getting our seed orders in.❤ and sappy thoughts from Maine!❤❤😂
Your greenhouse chaos is beautiful... my kitchen table is much the same as I plan. Love the golden color on the tops of the tree, and yep, I'm trying to remember to take photos & videos on my progress (thanks for the reminder!). Looking forward to seed starting 😀
I do take photos. Beginning, middle, and end of season. I'm not so good at keeping records on paper. The photos are my records. Let's lift one and clink to the new season of success ☕️
I agree with the tomato philosophy! A homegrown, sun ripened tomato is the very best! I've been following you for years now and I love what you are building in SC! I finally moved from my waiting room to a place where I can begin to put my learning into practice, but always knowing there is so much more to learn! You are truly an inspiration, Jess, even when you're "sappy". Keep up the good works, sister!
About 18 months after moving to our new home, my garden is very much a work in progress and I was frustrated by not having achieved some goals for myself. I remembered you talking about how you like to revisit photos and videos, so I started an Instagram account for my garden. I spent a week collecting, dating and uploading all my garden photos since we moved in and now post something almost every day. I love being able to scroll back and see that we've actually achieved so much! Thanks so much for the inspiration Jess!
Lord talking about babies.... Mine is going off to college and it's breaking my heart. I'm pushing myself forward to start my seeds cause those seeds will keep my ❤️ happy while I'm missing my one and only baby. I live in Ohio and shut down garden season at end of October so those little seeds will be growing in my" good bye" time😢😢 Please tell me another mamma is going threw this.
This was a fun, emotional vlog; thanks for sharing! I’m a scattered gardener & love it that way. I don’t have huge gardens on my urban lot but tuck plants in lots of places to see if they’ll produce. I’m retired now so can go get produce from my daughter’s greenhouses & preserve some for us all. We’re in sunny, but cooler Alberta, Canada. Hollyhocks are perennial here & seem to like our cold climate, as they’ll grow up to 6 - 8 feet tall. The deer have been eating mine the last few years so I have to cover with chicken wire. Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦
The Hollyhocks have become weeds in my yard. Their redeeming qualities are: they are pretty, they thrive in our hot, dry Alberta prairie summers, and they have medicinal value.
I’ve been re-watching your garden tour videos from 2018 and really enjoying them. Benjamin was just tiny and so adorable then and ear was just a little pup too! We’re still cold here in Oregon barely 50° some days and of course super wet, those videos are getting me through these dreary days waiting for spring.
I am photo happy…love looking back. I taught myself how to use google sheets & have entered every seed I have..along with all the details (when to plant, transfer etc). Big job! But so nice having it all at my fingertips…
I recommend watching Travis’ UA-cam videos over at Lazy Dog Farm. He’s in Georgia and grows monster onions and lots of veggies. I’ve really learned a lot about growing onions from him. Last year, I was able to successfully grow extremely large red and yellow onions by following his guidance. Good luck!
I love watching your videos. This year I plan on doing some videos on my vegetable gardens and pond area for myself, to see the progress and for my family when I have passed.
I started canning 1 oz jars of pimentos and I use them in my Mac and cheese as well. Add a bit of color and it is the most requested dish at our family gatherings. I think I’m gonna have to pass this chore on tone of the kids so I can try some new dishes on my family!
We had to move our veg garden due to maturing Oak Trees. We bought the biggest Vego raised bed we could afford and it’s in the backyard shared with the dogs. I’m getting ready to lay out what we’re going to grow this year!! So exciting!!
I love when I just get on my phone for my "wind down time" and your video comes up. I love watching your videos in their entirety and not be disrupted! Lol thanks for posting an evening video, jess! Happy Gardening ❤
I literally squealed with excitement when the notification popped up as I'd just put my kids to bed! ❤
Absolutely exactly 💯 me too!!!❤🎉
Me too! ❤
I'm definitely glad I'm not the only one! Haha but how could I be?! She's pretty awesome, huh 😊
So I’m catching up next morning… right up there with my morning devotion, in my inspiration, while I wait for the sun to come up so I can hit the dirt! Lol 💕
It would be fun to know the things you plan on preserving and cooking on the farmers table so we can grow the vegetables to can and cook with you 😊
Great idea!
Yes please. A vid on canning peppers. I plant a lot too. Unfortunately life took a turn and I didn’t work on my canning skills, so I dried a bunch which is good but canned peppers would be so good. ~ Tammy

A few years ago you said “Later you will thank now you.” I loved that phrase and wrote it down. Your comments in this blog reminded me of it. ❤
I just want to say "THANK YOU" on behalf of Katie. It just makes me happy to see her and how happy she is and I'm glad she gets to be an "unlikely" farm dog on your farm ☺❤
Hopefully I don't seem like a complete crazy person saying that I also recently watched one of your videos from about 4yrs ago and also got super teary eyed seeing how big your kids have gotten!

Yep me too, they were all wearing red shirts, and their little voices are so cute and sweet 😇😇😇

I’m already using it and it’s helping me so much. I’ve only had my garden for two years so I’m a total noob and this app is getting me so excited about maximizing my small raised bed and Greenstalk garden.
I signed up for it too but all I've been able to do is start adding what I'm growing. Can't figure out how to lay out my garden like she showed.
Love the chaos. It’s life, it’s real, it’s beautiful. ❤️
I started a UA-cam channel just because of you 😅!
I love your "sappiness" You sure know how to get that excitement rolling.❤ Be happy! Be proud! YOU deserve it!❤ 👏 💗 Bless you, Jess!❤
Well said🤗
Neat comment!
♥♥ ♥ I love when the sun hits the trees like that too!
I really hope you share all those canning ideas for peppers. I grow lots of pepper and would love to can some of them of just freezing them.
I'm sure she will share more recipes, just don't forget to subscribe to farmers table, she already posted many recipes there and some canning too I believe. ❤
You’re so organized Jess! I admire your passion and work you put into gardening! 🌸🌻🙌🏻
❤
“You are great sheep. You are the best ewes.” 😂😂😂
Hi Jess, I don't see you being sappy, just savoring the moment....and man, those moments DO go by fast! I have pictures of my son at 4 years old, with his almost waist length red-brown hair in a pony tail, and his little round face with freckles on it, running all over this property like a wild indian child with his three little buddies, grazing in the garden like a deer, and I look at those pictures in awe.

When you said “you are the best ewes” I saw a sheep sticker that says “be your best Ewe” on it 😍 and now I need to go design it 😆
I love Sandi And watch her every post
When my boys were little they called Peonies-Pee -on-mes I miss those sweet babies
I love Sandi’s videos!. She’s has been helpful on my new shepherdess journey! ❤ The Shepherdess on UA-cam is great too
Omgosh my property has changed so much and I am so thankful and blessed
I am so jealous of your beautiful table full of your seed "mess"! I would love to sit and go through and oh and awe over your seeds! Thank you for sharing...I don't think it's chaos/mess I think it's happiness.
The sun on the treetops is glorious 😊

This is exactly what my table looks like. It makes perfect sense to me!
Thank you for being an AWESOME PERSON!!!!!
2018 or early 19 Is When I found you! ENOUGH SEEDS TO FEED THE WORLD THERE JESS!
The Seedtime chore list is what I am most excited about! It's an easy way to communicate to others what needs to be done too. Thanks for sharing your seed chaos with us. You are the real deal sweet one.
LOL, your table looks like my dinning room table at the moment. 😂 And I love it.💖
Perfect timing! Just leaving work for a 20ish minute drive home! Thanks Jess! 😂
This is exactly what I was thinking! Lol
*May God Always Bless you ALL 🇺🇸🇧🇷👏🏻*
Sandy brock sheep are raised as a commodity. They are raised in pens and never see grass or sky or sunshine. 😢😢
Jesse “hey future me” I thought of Bill and Ted’s excellent adventure lol
I 100% agree with your comment on Tomatoes "I don't dig it" haha. Tomatoes are my favourite fruit to grow in the garden as well. Cheers!
Hello Jess! Thanks for the nice ending to my day!
We are in the process of moving so I'm not starting any seeds this year. I'm thankful for your garden and homesteading videos to help keep my motivation and dream alive!
You’re so funny. And you produce lovely vlogs very nicely edited with back ground music
I’m excited as my grow-room is filling up with life. I’ve squeezed in a little reading station so I can enjoy all the green!
When you talk about videos being a time capsule, as a viewer, that's exactly how I consume them! I go back a year in a creator's videos to see what they were doing at this time last year and the how it all unfolded in the weeks following. I use the dates on the videos to help make a rough time line of my gardening season. Knowing when to do what in the garden is a huge stressor for me, so I find this is super helpful
I love your sappiness, but I call it soulfulness!!! Sweet video , , sweet observations...thanks Jess❤
My husband laughed at me just today b/c our entire dining room table looks just like your table in your greenhouse......seed packets in neat little rows everywhere and I am looking through all of them to start planting my indoor seeds this next week! I can't wait. This is such an exciting time of year for me. Don't want to wish time away, but I can't wait to get my seedlings in the ground. :)
Our future homesite is still an under-grazed clayish acre rife with wild buttercup in spring, full of jimson weed and goldenrod through the early fall; populated only by a few of the neighbor's cows, and the swooping bluebirds and strident killdee to soon be our yearly companions.
Yours is a good reminder to recognize that This Too Shall Pass.
I am so excited to see this cut flower tunnel in the summer, and the future house 😍
"I'm a gardener!" That's hilarious! I relate. I really enjoyed the webinar. I had already signed up for the lifetime version of seedtime but I learned a lot with that webinar. This is my first year using it. The task list is going to be so helpful too.

“Hippo birdie two ewes, hippo birdie two ewes.” Does anyone remember that Sandra Boynton birthday card?
There's that beautiful chest of drawer again! Love it! 😍❤
What do you use it for? I've never seen you mention it.

Jess, I'm not trying to be negative. Just an old gardener giving advise. Happy valentine's day. Love on you.
It's a beautiful "chaos"! Thank you for sharing your real self and experiences.
Diced roasted red peppers in scrambled eggs, oh my goodness! 👌😋
I love seedtime!! It's super helpful for newbies too and I bought the unlimited monthly subscription when Justin did his live demo!
After about 5 years, I will tend to throw seeds out into the back 40. Sometimes they grow, usually birds eat them.
A favorite winter activity is drawing my gridded garden map, listing all I will grow. Then throughout the growing season, noting dates of planting, sprouting, harvesting…. weather trends and what works well and what needs to change in future. Don’t think I wanna give that over to a computer program, but bless those of you that do!
I always take pictures of my garden in different stages. There's nothing like the brightness of blooms in the morning.
Jess- when we make cowboy candy we use a variety of peppers and not just Jalapeño peppers. It is so pretty.
We love growing our own Anaheim peppers to roast our own diced green chilis! I freeze them in 4 oz amounts, so they are super easy to pop into anything I am cooking... one of the best things we grow to replace what we would often buy at the store.
Oh good, lol, someone else has a table full of seed chaos. It is such joyful chaos though, isn't it. ☺
My garden planning is complete chaos and if I have extra room, throw some beans there! 😂 I had to place another BC order yesterday to get some Thorburns Terra Cotta, thanks to Jess! Oh well, I’m having fun!

I can actually feel your excitement. It's like you can't contain yourself and it all just comes pouring out. So fun to see the happinness.
Starting Dahlia from seed is super easy 🥰

Hollyhocks are perennial here & seem to like our cold climate, as they’ll grow up to 6 - 8 feet tall. The deer have been eating mine the last few years so I have to cover with chicken wire. Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦
The Hollyhocks have become weeds in my yard. Their redeeming qualities are: they are pretty, they thrive in our hot, dry Alberta prairie summers, and they have medicinal value.
I love your sappiness, Jess.
I’ve been re-watching your garden tour videos from 2018 and really enjoying them. Benjamin was just tiny and so adorable then and ear was just a little pup too! We’re still cold here in Oregon barely 50° some days and of course super wet, those videos are getting me through these dreary days waiting for spring.
We love your sappiness. ❤
I am photo happy…love looking back.
I taught myself how to use google sheets & have entered every seed I have..along with all the details (when to plant, transfer etc). Big job! But so nice having it all at my fingertips…
Jess has such a happy spirit
I recommend watching Travis’ UA-cam videos over at Lazy Dog Farm. He’s in Georgia and grows monster onions and lots of veggies. I’ve really learned a lot about growing onions from him. Last year, I was able to successfully grow extremely large red and yellow onions by following his guidance. Good luck!
I love that you are a fly by the seat of your pants person...I am too and all these super organized gardeners are hard for me to relate to!
I cannot wait to see your flower tunnel blooming!🌸🌼🌻🌺🌷💐🌹
I love watching your videos. This year I plan on doing some videos on my vegetable gardens and pond area for myself, to see the progress and for my family when I have passed.
I started canning 1 oz jars of pimentos and I use them in my Mac and cheese as well. Add a bit of color and it is the most requested dish at our family gatherings. I think I’m gonna have to pass this chore on tone of the kids so I can try some new dishes on my family!
We had to move our veg garden due to maturing Oak Trees. We bought the biggest Vego raised bed we could afford and it’s in the backyard shared with the dogs.
I’m getting ready to lay out what we’re going to grow this year!! So exciting!!
